SILVER AND GOLD
Emotions torn between two worlds
They quickly fill the sink; as quickly down they swirl
Gold at the top, silver below
On a quest for the former, his face begins to glow

Faster he climbs to the top of the rock
Nothing on earth could force him to stop
Until the day he started to digress
And realized each step brought no progress

Reluctant and bitter he ceased his ascent
For that gold, he was hell bent
Until the silver glittered as well
To a newer height he slowly fell

He knows for a while the gold will remain
Until someone else has called it to claim
With love in his eyes and worry in his face
It is bid farewell to a more esteemed place
His Modest house was not worthy
To be in the company of such a dream

With the gold he will always remain
And never anymore does he feel any pain
For he holds his silver, sparkling bright
Which keeps him company throughout the night.
